Register now: Summer camp for grieving children


Registration is underway for both the June 27-29 and July 25-27 sessions of Mt. Evans Hospice and Home Health Care's thirteenth annual Camp Comfort™. This unique bereavement camp for children ages 6 to 12, offered by Mt. Evans Hospice since 1995, is a way for children to explore their feelings of grief and share memories of their loved ones. More than 800 children have attended Camp Comfort™ since its establishment.

During this extraordinary weekend, children learn ways to cope with their grief through workshops led by licensed social workers and trained bereavement professionals. A volunteer "buddy" system (with no more than two children to one adult) ensures that children receive plenty of personal, one-on-one attention. And, while children are encouraged to share memories and express their grief, Camp Comfort™ offers fun, too. The daily itinerary includes plenty of opportunities for recreation including swimming, horseback riding, arts and crafts, fishing, and hiking.

The total cost to attend Camp Comfort™, including all workshops, recreation, meals, snacks, and overnight accommodations, is $150. Scholarships may be available based on financial need. For more information or to receive a brochure, visit the Camp Comfort website at www.campcomfort.org or call Mt. Evans Hospice at 303-674-6400.
